Intense Racing Dominates Australian MTB Championships Amidst Controversy

Temecula, Ca- March 24,2005: The Intense Factory Racing effort showed its might down under during the Australian MTB Championships this past weekend in Eildon, Victoria. Despite the looming controversy of winning the famed white, green, and yellow championship jerseys (due to UCI rules, sponsors are not allowed a sizeable presence on the jersey), Intense athletes went out and brought home the gold.Taking the top spot in Pro Women DH was Sabrina Jonnier, nabbing the 1st place spot away from Australian native Tracey Hannah. Young gun Liam Panozzo showed tremendous potential by taking the number one slot in the under 19 pro men, and Chris Kovarik let his presence be known with a solid top 10 finish in Pro Men DH.

In our cross-country race effort, Australian Sensation Niki Gudex brought home the silver medal in a valiant effort that will not soon be forgotten by her closest CC rival, Emma Colson. Intense Factory Racing is showing a very strong effort in the early season with an extremely deep talent pool. Our next big race venue is the Sea Otter Classic, so keep your eyes open for us and all of our fantastic athletes as they look to set the standard for the 2005 MTB race season!
